I’ve been drug tested countless times and passed, naturally.

Never had the hair test.

I’m drug free, with a clean driving record, and want to drive long haul for a couple years when I give up my day job. I know, I know. Crazy. Why would I want to do that? Not for the money. Not sure why I want to, but I just do. I’ve always wanted to do it. I like to drive and think it would be a fun way to spend a couple years. Unfortunately, I’m DQ’d because of an ICD. Sucks. I’m less likely to drop with it in then some of those long haulers on the road.

Oh well, guess I will just sit on a beach and let those other long haulers bring me stuff ordered on Amazon. haha

Elvis started out as a truck driver and within a few years, he was a multi-millionaire. I'm surprised more didn't follow in his footsteps.

Teamsters are recruiting new drivers. They offer free training and 60K compensation after a year.

Amazing how many people, even among freepers, just don’t want to pay their dues. They want a great living like their parents worked twenty years for, only they want it now.

Judging by your weak attack response, that must have rang your bell.☺

I was driving for Werner at the time. More of the big guys are hair testing.

Very true BUT ‘back in the day’ it was much cheaper to live on not great pay. Just look at housing costs today.
